The question that is driving me crazy is trying to figure out what Ben's game is. I think him and the Others are conning Locke into thinking that they believe he is special. All of them looking at him like he is Brad Pitt or something. And they've been 'waiting for him'. And does John believe he is like C3PO and the Others are his worshipping Ewoks or is he finally going to wise up and not be so gullible? And why would Ben so freely tell Locke about his plans with Juliet, taking pregnant women etc?! Oh, and Ben walking. I don't believe he ever lost the ability. I think it is all a con. It was funny when he told John 'magic box is a metaphor John' or w/e he said. Like he was tired of John saying 'magic box' so sarcastically. But Ben was definitely EVIL in this episode.
